I'll be the second person in my entire lineage to go to college and, assuming I graduate, the first in my lineage to do so. Thus, I believe I can say 'Yes' to the questions asking me if I'm a first-generation college student. If this has an effect on my application, which I'm sure it does if...

If I don't get accepted to the USAFA, I'll probably end up going to Purdue due to finances. They have an Air Force ROTC unit (I'm hoping to get a scholarship!) and I'll do everything I can in it, in regards to ECs. I'll probably have to have a job as well and I'm going to look into joining a...

I've read that the academies look at the profile of the school one attends and weights that in the application process. To be blunt, my school's horrible in terms of mean test scores and other academic areas. I make a 4.0 with AP/honors courses and I'm ranked 13/~500, so will all of this be for...

Hello, I was recently wondering how much of an effect having or not having varsity letters had on your application. I currently have none, although I will have at least one by the time I turn my application in. I'm sure a guy with 4 letters looks better than a guy with 1, but how much better...

Here is a list of the courses I've taken in high school and what I will take next year as a senior. I would appreciate any responses to how I will look to the Academy in terms of class load. I've made an A in all of these classes, with the exception of future grades as they are unknowable at...

Would the USCGA consider Deputy Corps Commander (Vice Corps Commander) a team captain for the JROTC activity option, or is that strictly a "leadership position"?

I spoke to an AROTC representative and they said applications open up in February. I can't find a SINGLE date online, which is weird. I've asked around and looked on the Army's website; no dates. Can someone fill me in here?

The extra-curricular facet of the AIM application asks for the phone number of one's coach/adviser for each activity. What do we do if the phone number of a certain coach is through the school, via the school's phone number with an extension. I've tried to put the number in the standard format...

I'm currently a junior in high school and I've applied for all of the summer programs sponsored by the academies, except for AIM as the application is not yet available. However, I began contacting my ALOs, BGOs, etc. and getting familiar with ROTC scholarship applications and nomination...

Hello everyone, I recently decided to give the USMMA another look after previously dismissing it because I saw no aviation careers post-graduation. However, I recently noticed on the MMA website that there is a picture of a pilot, in a flight suit, standing next to a F-18. Although I still...

I've heard of Falcon Foundation scholarships on here, but I haven't been able to find much information on them; what little information I have found has been vague. Can someone tell me what this is, how it works, how to attain one if at all possible, etc.? Thanks in advance for any help! :D

I know I'm beating this into the ground, but can anyone give me some advice as to being competitive for the USAFA and its Summer Seminar? I only ask because the majority of people, that I know, which have applied to the summer program have been accepted already. I would appreciate any advice as...

Here's the important points of the USAFA SS application below. Any help/criticism is good. :) I tried to clear up any past confusion and I've made some changes at the recommendation of a few people. Academic Performance GPA: 4.00 Class Rank: 14 Class Size: 496 Test Scores...

Hello, I recently applied for the Academy's Summer Seminar and I'm EXTREMELY anxious about it. I've always dreamed of attending and this is the first opportunity I will have of even coming close to said dream. Anyways, if it's not too much to ask, would anyone mind giving me some feedback...
